You made the pixelart, but cheaped out on the character avatars?? Please stop using ai, you're a fine artist, make pixelart of the characters or hire an artist.
The pixelart is AI too. And the entire premise of the game is that it is all AI. There is even a guide included on how to make your own character. You say the dev "cheaped out" but they're only selling the game for 8 dollars, with a large amount of the content being free and included in the demo anyway. Having to budget for hiring an artist would triple this games price at least.
